Key Readings on the Atwood Affair
Last week, an article by Shira Hanau in the Jewish Week detailed the core of the Atwood Affair, in which a fourth-year rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah was announced to have been denied receiving rabbinical ordination. For further key readings on this incident, here are some key articles:
